Healthy Weight Management for Women Tired of Dieting

Healthy Weight Management – Step One: Stop Weighing Yourself!

Marsha is on vacation this week, so I looked in her archives and came up with one of my favorite Marsha posts. This particular post struck me because I speak to women daily who still struggle with an unhealthy attachment to the scale, calorie counting and exercise.

Here, at Green Mountain at Fox Run, we discourage using the scale as a measurement of success. In fact, when you particpate in our program, you’ll only get weighed once, maybe twice, before we send you on your way. We like to celebrate other ways to measure success and there are many.

I needed this today, thanks for the encouragement. I’ve been weighing myself daily but I do much better when I don’t weigh myself that often. I usually use the ‘out of sight out of mind’ approach by taking my scale from the bathroom to my ‘hidding’ it in my closet in a place I don’t go to often. I’m doing that when I get home. Thanks again.

Where Successful Weight Management Starts

Founded in 1973, Green Mountain is the country’s first and only residential weight loss program exclusively for women. We’re not your usual weight loss retreat or spa. We’re much more than a weight loss camp. We would never call ourselves a fat farm. You deserve better than that.
